It’s not working for me in MailChimp. I created a zip file for the blue version, import it. As soon as I changed the logo half the design went missing and then I am unable to edit anything. Tried with a few different ones, all the same.

Hi, SeanToro. make sure you edit template in the design step after create a new Campaign. What cause the problem is a repeatable function(mc:repeatable). I’ve contact Mailchimp support and they confirm there no fix for this because the template editor and Campaign Builder’s are design for difference purpose. It better to keep repeatable ability functional and edit in design step instate.

However, if you want to edit code you can edit normally in “My Template” menu but when it come to content you need too edit in Campaign Builder’s(design step).

I need to supply a newsletter template with a custom design to my client. They are using Outlook to send email. Can your Aiden template be edited with Outlook? Would I need a plugin? I’m a graphic designer trying to bridge my gap in programming knowledge and provide my client with a solution.
Thanks!

Hi, there. thank for interesting. As far as I know, using template with Outlook is you need to host all the template file yourself then open via web-browser select all, copy, and paste in the Outlook when composing. However, using template directly in Outlook is not a suggestion because Outlook is less support in a lot of template code such as, they not include <style>, background image not support, also not support responsive too.

In my opinion, Outlook is great with managing Mailing list, and sending plain text email, but when I come to Template and fancy stuff, it pretty worse due to they still using a Microsoft word engine to render an email.

Sounds like I need to open the template in Dreamweaver to make the edits and THEN paste it into Outlook when its ready to test? That shouldn’t be a problem right? Sorry but this is my first time creating this deliverable.

Hi, as far as I know an Apple Mail are not fully support using a template. So I believe the process must be done as you said. My suggestion is, consider to use a Web service like Campaign Monitor, or MailChimp instate. These service offering to hosting your template and mailing list, easy to edit content etc.

Hi, Thank for interesting, However, most of the functions that you mentioning are from Email designer. As far as I know these functions are not available for custom code template. it only for MailChimp default custom template. but just to be sure I already send an email to Mailchimp support asking about this. and waiting for their response. I will inform you again when I got a reply from them

In order to change cover image, you’ve to change through code only. because Mailchimp still no function to change background image. You can change throught Mailchimp code editor just replace a couple link with your own and save

I made a video to show you how it work. The video include importing process, create a new campaign, edit content. hope that helps

I have tried this on my own and design mode works, however I haven’t found anything about content mode. Would be great if you could implement in your template at least design mode capabilities.

Could you tell me how is situation with links like subscribe etc, do they work or are just dummies? I have bout a template with dummies links ans many other problems so now I just wont to be sure. If they doesn’t work than it is also easy to fix with some bits of code from templates I sent you a link to.

What about social icons?

BTW your template would be great and probably the best if you would implement those functions. It can be done but so far as Im concern nobady is doing this … Weird.

Hi 30Flux, Thank for the info. I’ll look into that and try implement to the template.

About the links are working normally I’ve included the Mailchimp tags,
*|UNSUB|* for unsubscribe link, *|ARCHIVE|* for webversion link
The social icons are work like an image with link, so you can easily changing or removing if you don’t want some of them

and, yes I think so, it would be great if the template can be using those functions. I will update the template ASAP I know how to make it work. and thank again for the info I do appreciate that.

I do apologize for a super delay reply, I was working on integration the template to StampReady builder’s. with their service(Free register). You willmore easily to modify color and export to use with MailChimp. It going to be something like this demo (most of my recent are already integrated.)

I’m sorry that I’m not integrate with MailChimp editor. due to MailChimp still don’t have a function to change Background image yet.

I’m having a problem when loading the template through the MailChimp campaign builder.

The email template loads fine in the template builder, however when I load it up in the campaign builder all the sections disappear. I then have to manually duplicate each section and change the content type i.e. “header 1”, “header 3” etc. Is this normal behaviour?

Yes, that is how Mailchimp repeatable function work, It will show only the first default module so user can duplicate and switching, repeating as you do. If removing this mc:repeatable function will cause the error(duplicated mc:edit tag) when you repeat the same module in one campaign.
